“We are aware of reports that Russia is examining the possibility of placing nuclear weapons in space,” NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte told German newspaper Welt am Sonntag in an interview published Saturday. Welt is a sister publication of POLITICO in the Axel Springer Group.
“Welt is a sister publication of Politico from Axel Springer” is factually true, but also a little misleading in telling the whole story. Axel Springer is most famous for “Bild”, the German “Sun” equivalent, and “Welt” is the pseudo-educated equivalent to Bild. Its supposed to peddle right-wing opinions while keeping the intellectual newspaper disguise.
I thought every country was doing this already.
Just makes sense to have the nukes directly above the enemy.
I was hoping some western countries already had nukes right above Russia.
That’s not how orbital mechanics works.
Right. If you’re in geostationary orbit above your target, when you descend, the atmosphere should slow you down relative to the planet’s spin, and you’ll be way off.

Nitpicking.
Maybe I should have not used “directly”.
